Thu, 05 Jul 2007 08:43:57 +0000. I am the manager of a backpackers hostel in Barranco, Lima. Once again I would like to stongly suggest everyone arriving in Lima to prebook your airport transfer with your accommodation! The 'official' airport taxi business is close to mafia.
How long can or does the HIV virus remain dormant in the Human Body before it becomes AIDS virus? For the majority of patients who have HIV, the dormancy period lasts about 10 years. About 10 percent to 20 percent of patients progress to having AIDS within 5 years. It is estimated that another 5 percent to 10 percent of patients will not reach the AIDS phase for more than 15 years.
When a person in HIV positive, that means that AIDS is still not activated. As for the latent period, the good news is that it might last for a really long period, and we are talking about years here. It is very important for you to take your therapy and maintain the high level of your immune systemâs strength. You can have a more or less normal life for a long time.
